1. CAFC and ENDEVOR

Hey - hoping someone may have information on this. The Processor for our COBOL CICS runs through the CAFC product to perform the newcopy (happens to be using program AFCP2016). After running a package with 27 COBOL CICS programs in it, 5 of them got a RC 90 on the Newcopy step. When viewing the Newcopy job that is kicked off from the Processor you see:

However, in Endevor you see:C1X0012I STEP NEWC INVOKING PROGRAM AFCP2016C1X0010I STEP NEWC PROGRAM AFCP2016 COMPLETED, RC=0090

I know this isn't much to go on, but I've spoken to my CAFC person who says this RC is being initiated by NDVRC1. I'm not sure where to look next. I'm not seeing any obvious messages to indicate anything is wrong. Does this mean anything to anyone?

Thanks.

Hi Felicity, Are you using the PHASEIN option with your NEWCOPY? That RC can come from a program being in use. I fought with this a few years ago when we installed Endevor, and almost resorted to using console commands to do the NEWCOPY.

HI, Sorry, I just saw this. (So many other fires since this one!!) ​Our newcopy statement has the PHA after the modules name, so I assume that means phased in? Out of 30 elements only 3 failed with a rc 90, but when I speak to our CICS support folks, they tell me that the newcopied successfully. Does that sound familiar?
